Kendrick Lamar and Whitney Alford Welcome First Child

Sources tell Us Weekly that the couple are now the proud parents of a baby girl. Insiders say Alford, a 33-year-old makeup artist, gave birth to their first child on Friday, after keeping the pregnancy under wraps.

Kendrick opened up about his relationship with Alford during a 2015 Billboard interview, stating: “I wouldn’t even call her my girl. That’s my best friend. I don’t even like the term that society has put in the world as far as being a companion—she’s somebody I can tell my fears to.”

Several months later, the Grammy-winning artist appeared on Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club show and confirmed he and Alford were engaged.
